Hydrema 912GS Rail - The Ultimate Dump Truck for Rail Work

CONSTRUCTION

The Hydrema 912GS Rail's robust design includes a central articulated pivot and hydraulic stabilisers for optimal stability. The innovative MultiTip system allows 180-degree tipping, and with removable rail wheels, it can be quickly adapted for both rail and road use. The integration of fuel and hydraulic tanks improves weight distribution, making the 912GS Rail ideal for various railway work.

CHASSIS

The chassis of the Hydrema 912GS Rail features an innovative design with a central articulated pivot point, which is supported by a pendulum rod and dual-acting hydraulic stabilisers. This provides exceptional stability when travelling and tipping. The chassis design also ensures that the oscillating movement of the articulation joint is automatically locked when travelling on rails, further improving safety and handling. With integrated fuel and hydraulic tanks in the front frame, the chassis is optimised to deliver even weight distribution, which is essential for both efficiency and safety in complex working conditions.

AXLES

The Hydrema 912GS Rails axle system is engineered with advanced technology to maximise both performance and safety. The front axle is equipped with an electro-hydraulic suspension system consisting of two independent suspension cylinders, ensuring a smooth and comfortable driving experience. The axles are equipped with planetary reduction in the wheel hubs, which work together with separate oil chambers to ensure a constant and efficient power transmission. An automatic limited slip differential lock on the front axle and an electro-hydraulic 100% differential lock on the rear axle are integrated to offer optimal traction and stability in all working conditions.

ENGINE

The Hydrema 912GS Rail is equipped with a powerful Cummins QSB 4.5L Stage 4 engine, which delivers a robust performance with a maximum of 147 horsepower (108 kW) at 2000 rpm and an impressive maximum torque of 600 Nm at 1500 rpm. This 16-valve Common-Rail Turbodiesel engine includes advanced features such as an electronically variable turbocharger, intercooler, and a cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) with DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and SCR catalysts to ensure efficiency and compliance with emissions standards, while supporting AdBlue addition for cleaner exhaust.

FUEL

This rail dumper is equipped with a large 140 litre fuel tank and a 14 litre AdBlue tank, ensuring long runtime and efficiency on the jobsite. The integration of these tanks into the front of the chassis contributes to optimal weight distribution, which improves the vehicle's balance and stability during operation.

TRANSMISSION

The 912GS Rail is equipped with a ZF WG 115 6-speed fully automatic "ERGO POWER" Soft-Shift transmission that offers 100% electronic control. This advanced transmission ensures smooth gear changes without interrupting traction, which is essential for precise manoeuvring and efficiency during rail work. With six forward gears and three reverse gears combined with constant 4-wheel drive, the 912GS Rail delivers reliable and smooth performance on both rail and road, making it an ideal machine for a variety of applications.

STEERING

The Hydrema 912GS Rail comes with an advanced hydrostatic Load Sensing articulated steering system, which is equipped with two dual-acting cylinders. This steering technology allows precise and responsive control of the machine, with a maximum steering angle of +/- 35 degrees. A built-in priority valve and integrated emergency steering ensure that the operator is in full control even in demanding conditions. This steering system is designed to provide smooth and efficient manoeuvring, which is critical for safe and precise positioning of the machine on railway tracks and construction sites.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Equipped with a high-performance hydraulic system, the 912GS Rail delivers a pump output of 84 litres per minute with priority control. The system includes a separate pump dedicated to brakes and stabilisers, ensuring that machine movements are both precise and reliable. This setup gives the operator excellent control over the dump truck's functions, which is essential for efficient and safe working in all conditions.
